Social and development research and action group

SADRAG has been working in the area of child rights and basic education since over the last seven years. It runs a network of Learning and Support Centres (LSCs) for ‘out of school’ children who are working/non-working, migrant/natives/street. These children are either school dropouts or first generation learners. They had never attended a formal school for various family or systemic reasons. These children are taught to their age appropriate levesl and then are put into schools. We subsidize their school uniform etc and also pay their school fees. The children who pass through this programme are also tracked and the organization ensures that it helps the family in any way possible to continue sending their child to school.<br />It also looks at violence against women and children. It has tie ups with childline and the local police to make sure that cases of child beatings do not go unreported and that the victim has a safe future.<br /><br />
